Knapsack Pro Ruby: Quickstart

Create an account to generate API tokens and use Knapsack Pro.

Installation​

Install knapsack_pro in your project:

bundle add knapsack_pro --group "development, test"

Now, fill in the following form to generate the instruction steps for your project.

Questions​

Please answer the following questions to generate the configuration for your project:

Do you use Ruby on Rails?

Choose your testing tools:

Do you use the VCR or WebMock gem?

What is your CI provider?

Instructions​

Ruby Project​

Since you are not using Rails, add the following at the bottom of your Rakefile:

KnapsackPro.load_tasks if defined?(KnapsackPro)

RSpec​

Add the following code at the beginning of your spec/rails_helper.rb or spec/spec_helper.rb:

require 'knapsack_pro'

# Custom Knapsack Pro config here

KnapsackPro::Adapters::RSpecAdapter.bind

Minitest​

Add the following code after you load the app environment in test/test_helper.rb:

ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'test'
require File.expand_path('../../config/environment', __FILE__)
require 'rails/test_help'

require 'knapsack_pro'

# Custom Knapsack Pro config here

knapsack_pro_adapter = KnapsackPro::Adapters::MinitestAdapter.bind
knapsack_pro_adapter.set_test_helper_path(__FILE__)

test-unit​

Add the following code at the beginning of your test/test_helper.rb:

require 'knapsack_pro'

# Custom Knapsack Pro config here

knapsack_pro_adapter = KnapsackPro::Adapters::TestUnitAdapter.bind
knapsack_pro_adapter.set_test_helper_path(__FILE__)

Cucumber​

Create features/support/knapsack_pro.rb with the following code:

require 'knapsack_pro'

# Custom Knapsack Pro config here

KnapsackPro::Adapters::CucumberAdapter.bind

Spinach​

Create features/support/knapsack_pro.rb with the following code:

require 'knapsack_pro'

# Custom Knapsack Pro config here

KnapsackPro::Adapters::SpinachAdapter.bind

VCR/WebMock​

Add the Knapsack Pro API's subdomain to ignored hosts in spec/spec_helper.rb (or wherever your VCR configuration is located):

require 'vcr'

VCR.configure do |config|
  config.hook_into :webmock
  config.ignore_hosts('localhost', '127.0.0.1', '0.0.0.0', 'api.knapsackpro.com')
end

require 'webmock/rspec'
WebMock.disable_net_connect!(allow_localhost: true, allow: ['api.knapsackpro.com'])

You may need to add require: false in your Gemfile:

group :test do
  gem 'vcr'
  gem 'webmock', require: false
end

If some tests are failing due to requests to the Knapsack Pro API, you may have some code that reconfigures WebMock. The usual suspects are calls to WebMock.reset! or an issue with webmock/rspec. In the latter case, you can solve the problem with:

RSpec.configure do |config|
  config.after(:suite) do
    WebMock.disable_net_connect!(
      allow_localhost: true,
      allow: [
        'api.knapsackpro.com',
      ],
    )
  end
end

AppVeyor​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

For each parallel job, define:

Remember to configure the number of parallel CI nodes in AppVeyor.

KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_TOTAL=N \
KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=0 \
KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC=MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN \
bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec

KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_TOTAL=N \
KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=0 \
KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_CUCUMBER=MY_CUCUMBER_API_TOKEN \
bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber

# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:minitest
# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach
# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit

Buildkite​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

Remember to configure the parallelism parameter in your build step.

KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC=MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN \
bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec

KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_CUCUMBER=MY_CUCUMBER_API_TOKEN \
bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber

# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:minitest
# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach
# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit

When using the docker-compose plugin on Buildkite, you have to pass the following environment variables:

steps:
  - label: "Test"
    parallelism: 2
    plugins:
      - docker-compose#3.0.3:
        run: app
        command: bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec
        config: docker-compose.test.yml
        env:
          - BUILDKITE
          - BUILDKITE_PARALLEL_JOB_COUNT
          - BUILDKITE_PARALLEL_JOB
          - BUILDKITE_BUILD_NUMBER
          - BUILDKITE_COMMIT
          - BUILDKITE_BRANCH
          - BUILDKITE_BUILD_CHECKOUT_PATH
          - BUILDKITE_BUILD_AUTHOR
          - BUILDKITE_BUILD_CREATOR

Here you can find an article on how to set up a new pipeline for your project in Buildkite and configure Knapsack Pro.

You can also check out the following example repositories for Ruby on Rails projects:

CircleCI​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

Remember to add additional parallel containers in the CircleCI settings.

.circleci/config.yml
jobs:
  build:
    parallelism: 2

    steps:
      - checkout

      # ...

      - run:
        name: RSpec with knapsack_pro
        command: |
          KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC=MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN \
            bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec
      - run:
        name: Cucumber with knapsack_pro
        command: |
          KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_CUCUMBER=MY_CUCUMBER_API_TOKEN \
            bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber

        # ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:minitest
        # ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach
        # ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit

Here you can find an article about a Rails application configured with Knapsack Pro on CircleCI 2.0.

See how to configure advanced CircleCI features with Knapsack Pro to collect reports and rerun only failed tests.

Cirrus CI​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

Configure the number of parallel CI nodes with the matrix modification:

.cirrus.yml
task:
  environment:
    KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC: ENCRYPTED[MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN]
    KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_CUCUMBER: ENCRYPTED[MY_CUCUMBER_API_TOKEN]
  matrix:
    name: CI Node 0
    name: CI Node 1
    name: CI Node 2
  test_script:
    - bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec
    - bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber

# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:minitest
# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach
# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit

Remember to set up the KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_* as encrypted variables.

Here is an example of a .cirrus.yml configuration file for a Ruby project.

CloudBees CodeShip​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

For each parallel pipeline, define:

KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_TOTAL=N \
KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=0 \
KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC=MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN \
bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec

KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_TOTAL=N \
KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=0 \
KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_CUCUMBER=MY_CUCUMBER_API_TOKEN \
bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber

# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:minitest
# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach
# ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit

Consider moving the KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_* to the Environment page of your project settings in CodeShip.

Codefresh​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

Define in .codefresh/codefresh.yml:

Remember to configure the YAML file path on Codefresh: Pipelines > Settings (cog icon next to the pipeline) > Workflow Tab (horizontal menu on the top) > Path to YAML > ./.codefresh/codefresh.yml.

See also how to configure running parallel CI nodes in GitLab.

GitLab CI < 11.5​

Define in .gitlab-ci.yml:

Here's an example configuration for 2 parallel jobs:

.gitlab-ci.yml
stages:
  - test

variables:
  KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_TOTAL: 2

test_ci_first_node:
  stage: test
  script:
    - export KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=0
    - KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC=MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec
    - KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_CUCUMBER=MY_CUCUMBER_API_TOKEN bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber

    - KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_TEST_UNIT=MY_TEST_UNIT_API_TOKEN bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit
    - KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_SPINACH=MY_SPINACH_API_TOKEN bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach

Remember to set up the KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_* as Secret Variables in GitLab CI: Settings > CI/CD Pipelines > Secret Variables.

Heroku CI​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

Define in app.json:

app.json
{
  "environments": {
    "test": {
      "formation": {
        "test": {
          "quantity": 2
        }
      },
      "addons": ["heroku-postgresql"],
      "scripts": {
        "test": "bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec"
      },
      "env": {
        "KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC": "MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN"
      }
    }
  }
}

Remember to set up the KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_* outside of app.json in your Heroku CI pipeline's settings.

Jenkins​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

In order to run parallel jobs with Jenkins you should use Jenkins Pipeline as described in Parallelism and Distributed Builds with Jenkins.

Here is an example of a Jenkinsfile working with Jenkins Pipeline:

timeout(time: 60, unit: 'MINUTES') {
  node() {
    stage('Checkout') {
      checkout([/* checkout code from git */])

      // determine git commit hash because we need to pass it to Knapsack Pro
      COMMIT_HASH = sh(returnStdout: true, script: 'git rev-parse HEAD').trim()

      stash 'source'
    }
  }

  def num_nodes = 4; // define your total number of CI nodes (how many parallel jobs will be executed)
  def nodes = [:]

  for (int i = 0; i < num_nodes; i++) {
    def index = i;
    nodes["ci_node_${i}"] = {
      node() {
        stage('Setup') {
          unstash 'source'
          // other setup steps
        }

        def knapsack_options = """\
            KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_TOTAL=${num_nodes}\
            KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=${index}\
            KNAPSACK_PRO_COMMIT_HASH=${COMMIT_HASH}\
            KNAPSACK_PRO_BRANCH=${env.BRANCH_NAME}\
            KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_BUILD_ID=${env.BUILD_TAG}\
            KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC=MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN\
            KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_CUCUMBER=MY_CUCUMBER_API_TOKEN
        """

        stage('Run rspec') {
          sh """${knapsack_options} bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec"""
        }

        stage('Run cucumber') {
          sh """${knapsack_options} bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber"""
        }

        // ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:minitest
        // ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach
        // ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit
      }
    }
  }

  parallel nodes // run CI nodes in parallel
}

Consider setting up the KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_* as global environment variables in Jenkins.

Semaphore CI​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

Define in .semaphore/semaphore.yml:

Here's an example config for a Rails project:

.semaphore/semaphore.yml

        - name: PGUSER
          value: postgres
        - name: KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_RSPEC
          value: MY_RSPEC_API_TOKEN
        - name: KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_CUCUMBER
          value: MY_CUCUMBER_API_TOKEN

      prologue:
        commands:
          - checkout
          - cache restore gems-$SEMAPHORE_GIT_BRANCH-$(checksum Gemfile.lock),gems-$SEMAPHORE_GIT_BRANCH-,gems-master-
          - sem-service start postgres
          - sem-version ruby 2.6.1
          - bundle install --jobs=4 --retry=3 --path vendor/bundle
          - bundle exec rake db:setup

      jobs:
        - name: Run tests with Knapsack Pro
          parallelism: 2
          commands:
            - bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec
            - bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber

        # ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:minitest
        # ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach
        # ...or bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit

Remember to set up KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_* as a secret.

Travis CI​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

Define in .travis.yml:

travis.yml
script:
  - "bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:rspec"
  - "bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:cucumber"
  - "bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:queue:minitest"
  - "bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:test_unit"
  - "bundle exec rake knapsack_pro:spinach"

env:
  global:

  jobs:
    - KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=0
    - KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=1
    - KNAPSACK_PRO_CI_NODE_INDEX=2

Remember to set up KNAPSACK_PRO_TEST_SUITE_TOKEN_* as tokens in the Travis settings to avoid exposing them in the build logs.

You can find more info about the global and matrix env configuration in the Travis' docs.

Other CI provider​

Generate API tokens for each Knapsack Pro command.

Verify that everything works​

Push a new commit to your repository and visit your dashboard to make sure all your CI nodes were recorded successfully in Show build metrics > Show (build).

caution

The command knapsack_pro:queue:TEST_RUNNER, starts Knapsack Pro in Queue Mode.

If you encounter any problems, take a look at troubleshooting, or try Regular Mode by running knapsack_pro:TEST_RUNNER (notice the missing :queue).

Congratulations! Now that Knapsack Pro knows the statistics of your test suite, your CI builds will be parallelized optimally.

Next up​

For an even faster CI build, consider splitting by test examples.

Make sure you check out the Advanced and Using Knapsack Pro with... pages from the navigation to fine-tune your Knapsack Pro setup.
